World's 9 most-famous insider trading cases

While the Enron case was primarily an accounting scandal - the company lied about its debts and losses to cover up its deterioration - insider trading was certainly one of the many charges filed against the guilty parties.

Jeff Skilling, the company's former CEO, was convicted of 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy, and one count of insider trading in 2006.

Although he was acquitted of nine other counts of insider trading, he was still sentenced to 24 years and four months in jail.
